Maluwabesi bridge update

To all the Maluwabesi bridge supporters,

Finally the bridge is a success. I want to thank each of you who contributed your money and your time to raise funds for this wonderful bridge, and the many unknown and unnamed people whose collective efforts make this happen. It is a sign of hope that despite the political deadlock and the hardships of the people, we can make significant constructive progress.

Attached you will find a note of thanks:

Congratulations and many thanks to each of you. The 100 metre WireBridge you helped to finance is alive and well, and running in Kavre.

The village User Group worked very hard to secure access to the site, and to ensure that there would be safe working conditions for the EcoSystems staff and local workers. In the end everyone agreed with the plan, the work proceeded without any incidents, and the bridge was opened on October 19.

Our team had a small camera and took a few photos, the best of which are attached. To get more photos we will have to wait until the insurgency is past.
Meanwhile, your WireBridge will shorten the route to the Bolde health post and to a local school, and brighten the lives of countless villagers who live on the left bank of the Sun Kosi river.

Thank you again for your generosity and patience.
David & Haydi & the EcoSystems team

Looking for new Acolytes

We are looking to train a few acolytes: boys or
girls in 4th grade and up (some third graders might be
ready). These children would help out in the 10
o'clock service from time to time, or at combined
services (like the All Saints' service on Nov. 6th).

We might even get them vested for the 9:10 service on
occasion. It is a great way to get your kids more
involved in the liturgy (a word that literally means
"the work of the people"--and remember, you ARE the
people of God!).

Please contact Mother Anne or Pamela Dolan if
you think this ministry would appeal to your child.
